Improved Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Performance With CODE ACES²: A Resuscitation Quality Bundle.

ABSTRACT: Background Over 6000 children have an in-hospital cardiac arrest in the United States annually. Most will not survive to discharge, with significant variability in survival across hospitals suggesting improvement in resuscitation performance can save lives. Methods and Results A prospective observational study of quality of chest compressions ( CC ) during pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest associated with development and implementation of a resuscitation quality bundle.
